Star vs. Poe, comparison.

I haven’t kept up with football the past two years like I normally have but I was wondering what you thought was the difference between Star Lotulelei and Dontari Poe?

 

obviously Poe is bigger and a little younger but  how do they stack up against one another?

 

it seemed Poe is better or was better at getting to the Qb at least earlier in his career. His number sacks have gone down but I’m guessing that could be because they asked him to take up blockers more than going after the Qb.

 

we all know that Star was great at NT and against the run. His numbers might never have looked great but he did things that don’t always show up in the stat book. How good is Poe against the run? I was wondering what you think will happen to our run game with Poe?

 

Im guessing it will be the about the same, but I want your opinions.

 

also what about Poe’s health? I believe he had health problems before signing with Atlanta. Was that just a one year ordeal or still an issue?

star wanted a contract for a top tier 4 down guy. panthers offered him a contract that was more in line with what he actually is, a solid two or three down guy. he's not a 4 down guy.

he got the contract he wanted and we got a true 4 down DT for what we were offering star.

poe got to go where he wanted.

it's a win-win-win.

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
